Bang!

A ma.s.sive halberd landed on the mountain, this simple action seeming to carry with it an enormous power . Even Longqinba had to raise an eyebrow .

"Longqinba, we meet again . "

A low voice came from up the mountain . That person's hair flapped in the wind, and his face, which seemed to be chiseled from stone, was embedded with two eyes that seemed as deep as the sea .

"Sun Liuyue!"

Longqinba's expression sank as he halted his steps .

This person was dressed in an armor completely different from the rest of the Annan Protectorate army . It was simple and thick, with nothing special about it besides its weight .

In truth, this person was not a member of the Annan Protectorate army .

w.a.n.g Yan had several generals under his command different from regular generals . They had no rank or t.i.tle, but their status in the army was above even Chen Shusun .

Sun Liuyue was one of these generals . He was not only one of w.a.n.g Yan's personal guards, but also a retainer of the w.a.n.g Clan . Back when w.a.n.g Yan entered the army, the patriarch of the w.a.n.g Clan, Duke Jiu, had arranged for Sun Liuyue to be at w.a.n.g Yan's side .

These people were all experts that had been selected from the best soldiers, and they rarely left w.a.n.g Yan's side . They were like his shadow .

When w.a.n.g Yan was not present, they could subst.i.tute for him and oversee the entire army to deal with any sudden surprises .

During the siege of Lion City, Longqinba had been nigh unstoppable . Only Sun Liuyue had been able to check his brash a.s.sault .

"Annoying fool!"

Longqinba's eyes narrowed as he instantly charged forward, scimitar swinging . The moment he charged forward, a light flashed, and a ma.s.sive shadow that seemed like a demonic G.o.d appeared behind him .

"It's finally my turn . "

While the two armies were engaged in their bitter clash, a short yet valiant figure appeared at the back of the mountain . Tumi Sangzha looked up at that waterfall of caltrops descending from the summit, a strange smile appearing on his lips .

Boom!

With a thought, Tumi Sangzha suddenly stomped forward, and an invisible ripple spread out from his feet .

The scene on the mountain slope suddenly changed . Hundreds of metal men stood up from the waterfall of caltrops and swiftly began to clean up their surroundings .

Bangbangbang! These metal men picked up caltrop after caltrop and threw them down the mountain, working with incredible speed .

Buzz!

Tumi Sangzha looked around, his eyes quickly locking onto two nearby metal walls . His fingers spread apart as he began his summoning .

"Rise for me!"

Roar!

The two metal walls began to twist and roar . Two metal giants rose up like prehistoric beasts and began to crawl up the mountain .

With these two metal giants, the clean-up proceeded even more quickly .

"Once this path is cleared up, it will serve as the best place for the cavalry to charge up!"

Tumi Sangzha grimly laughed as he looked up the mountain . With both sides engaged in battle, now was the best opportunity to clean up the caltrops . The Great Minister's plan was not merely to defeat them in a head-on confrontation on the battlefield .

Leaving the metal men to their task, Tumi Sangzha began to quickly make his way up the mountain .

This was a battle of unprecedented scale . Purely in terms of military strength, it far surpa.s.sed any previous battle . The dense ranks of the Mengshe–Ü-Tsang army crashed forward like giant waves .

The one hundred thousand soldiers of the Whitestone Corps had once madly a.s.sailed this summit, but the number of soldiers this time was even greater than that .

Each soldier of the Annan Protectorate army was under incredible pressure . The outermost soldiers might have been equipped with large s.h.i.+elds, but these s.h.i.+elds were trembling like drops of water, the fast and furious attacks almost causing their bones to shatter .

Besides this, the Mengshe–Ü-Tsang army were also clearing up the metal walls, slowly shrinking the s.p.a.ce in which the Annan Protectorate army could operate . The situation was turning more and more against the Tang .

"It's about time . "

w.a.n.g Chong looked down from the summit at the battlefield . Although the Mengshe–Ü-Tsang army was proceeding with a vicious momentum, everything was still under his control .

Boom!

Just when the Mengshe–Ü-Tsang army was pressing closer and closer, w.a.n.g Chong's eyes flashed and he took a step forward .  Boom! This step seemed to set the mountain shaking as an invisible energy began to spread down the sides of the mountain to cover the battlefield .

w.a.n.g Chong had finally unleashed the strongest halo in his body, the Bane of the Battlefield .  Buzz! Invisible ripples began to extinguish the halos of the Mengshe–Ü-Tsang soldiers like so many candles, all of them greatly dimming .

Buzz!

In mere moments, the tens of thousands of Tibetan and Mengshe Zhao soldiers on the mountain suddenly had their cultivation drop an entire level . And right when w.a.n.g Chong unleashed the Bane of the Battlefield Halo…

"Attack!"

The defensive Annan Protectorate army chose to attack .  Tw.a.n.gtw.a.n.gtw.a.n.g! Deafening booms filled the air . The first to strike was not the Tang infantry, but the Great Tang ballistae .

On flat terrain, it was basically impossible for ballistae to fire around the soldiers on the front lines . But their location on the mountain made this task much simpler .

Boomboomboom!

The dense quarters of the battlefield, with thousands of soldiers squeezed into one place, were the best place for the ballistae to gather their harvest . While the thick bolts covered in inscriptions were fired, at the front lines, a forest of pikes suddenly stabbed out from the c.h.i.n.ks in the s.h.i.+eld wall .

Squelchsquelchsquelch! In the past, the strength of these pikes would have been limited, but all the Mengshe–Ü-Tsang warriors were currently in a weakened state .

The sharp pikes were able to plunge through their Stellar Energy barriers and into their bodies, raising them high into the air and flinging them away .  Thwish, thwish, thwish… In a few short moments, the forest of pikes had thrust out and in several times . They emerged from the s.h.i.+eld wall s.h.i.+ning bright and retracted painted in dark red .

The ground in front of the s.h.i.+eld wall was soon littered with corpses .

These valiant Mengshe–Ü-Tsang warriors who had been so formidable just moments before were now punctured as easily as cloth bags . In addition, while the s.h.i.+eld soldiers had been under enormous pressure before, they now felt the severe weakening of the enemy attacks, allowing them to quickly harden up their lines .

"Axemen, move out!"

Suddenly, furious roars rose from the front lines as ma.s.sive axes began to fly through the air, smas.h.i.+ng into the sea of Mengshe–Ü-Tsang soldiers .

At this same moment, the earth quaked as stalwart figures suddenly charged out of the Tang ranks like ferocious beasts, slamming into the Mengshe–Ü-Tsang ranks .

"Die for me!"

The muscular figures of the Tang axemen advanced through the enemy ranks with fierce expressions on their faces and veins bulging out of their skin . Their excellent and st.u.r.dy armor and the inscribed axes in their hands allowed them to easily hew through the enemy ranks .

"Aaaaah!"

Screams filled the air as the Tibetan and Mengshe Zhao soldiers were cut down like stalks of wheat . A few Mengshe Zhao soldiers were even cleaved in two by the giant axes, their bodies falling both to the left and the right .

Amongst all infantry, axemen had always been the strongest, and they were always selected from the cream of the crop . An axeman was always at True Martial Tier 6 at the minimum, and with the ma.s.sive debuff inflicted on the enemy army by w.a.n.g Chong's Bane of the Battlefield, these axemen proved even more effective .

In an army, axemen had incredible offensive power, always used for a vigorous push to break the enemy formation when the situation was looking unfavorable .

Boom boom boom!

To the southeast, southwest, northwest… in every direction, the army that had once held the advantage began to crumble . None of the soldiers were able to put up any resistance .

"This, this… What's going on here?"

"How could their strength change so quickly!"

"What sort of power could have this large a range!"

The transformation on the battlefield had shocked everyone . This was not the first time w.a.n.g Chong had used the Bane of the Battlefield Halo, but this was the first time that it was on a battlefield of many tens of thousands, allowing it to produce never-before-seen results .

Even a fool would be able to notice that the Bane of the Battlefield was affecting the entire mountain and perhaps even beyond its boundaries .

"Great Minister, what do we do?"

People began to turn toward Dalun Ruozan at the base of the mountain .

"There's no need to worry . Such a large halo must have extremely large costs . Pa.s.s on my order to continue the a.s.sault!" Dalun Ruozan p.r.o.nounced with a wave of his hand .

Although he didn't know how w.a.n.g Chong had managed it, in Dalun Ruozan's view, there was only one thing in this world that could inflict such a large-scale debuff on the enemy army's halos, and that was another halo .

But every halo required a consumption of energy . The more people it encompa.s.sed, the more energy it consumed . Given the ma.s.sive range w.a.n.g Chong's halo covered, Dalun Ruozan was confident that it would quickly sap the user of all his energy .

More importantly, in this sort of battle, the strongest halo or the strongest existence could not achieve much against an army of hundreds of thousands .

If Huoshu Huicang alone could win a war, what did they need all the other soldiers for?

But Dalun Ruozan quickly realized that his judgment was wrong .

Neigh!

As countless people looked on, a fierce cry arose from the summit . A divine steed with snow-white hooves appeared under the banner, a beanstalk in its mouth .

And the erect figure on the back of this horse was like the sun in the sky, attracting everyone's gaze .

At this moment, w.a.n.g Chong appeared like a handsome G.o.d looking down from the heavens .
